Nageswara Rao further stated that the accused is a Christian missionary and an influential figure since he is involved in religious conversions. He also issued death threats to the victim. In addition to this, the political pressure is driving the cops away from acting against the accused. The Police took 9 days only to register the FIR. This underlines the influence held by the accused pastor.
